Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.

Kalif Raymond (WR – DET)

“Jameson Williams is suspended the next two games, putting Kalif Raymond in the starting lineup for the high-powered Lions offense. Raymond is starting to produce better even with Williams in the lineup the last few weeks. Raymond has 11-plus fantasy points in each of his last two games. He scored his first touchdown of the season last week. He has some potential in a starting role for an offense that is rolling over every opponent.”

Chris Olave (WR – NO)

“Chris Olave is a screaming sleeper option for me this week. He’s ranked at WR56 and 108 overall in a week when the Saints face the Chargers. He’s the second-highest-ranked Saints player behind Alvin Kamara at 30 overall. Someone’s gotta catch the ball, even if Spencer Rattler is throwing it. Olave has disappointed this season, but the matchup here is too juicy. I think Olave outperforms his 108 flex ranking in Week 8.”

Troy Franklin (WR – DEN)

“It was nice finally seeing Troy Franklin more involved in the offense last week with five catches for 50 yards and a 23% target share. Franklin has a great opportunity to solidify his role as the WR2 on this team, which could have some fantasy relevance with Bo Nix getting a little more comfortable as a passer in the NFL. Don’t be surprised if we see another impressive outing this week against a Panthers defense that has given up over 34 points a game this season.”
